Skretting 360+: Transforming shrimp farming in Ecuador

The Skretting 360+ programme is a global initiative designed to optimize feeding, farming, and health management for fish and shrimp. In Ecuador, specialized teams focus on shrimp production, health, technology, and production monitoring services. By collecting and analyzing real-time data, Skretting 360+ enables users to benchmark performance and manage feed and harvest predictions.

Since its introduction six years ago, Skretting 360+ has transformed shrimp farming in Ecuador. The programme addresses the inefficiencies of manual feeding, which often resulted in wasted feed and bacterial problems. By focusing on precision feeding, farm management, and technical support, Skretting 360+ has helped shrimp farmers reduce feed conversion ratios, lower production costs, increase growth, and improve survival rates.

Looking ahead, Skretting 360+ plans to enhance feeding technology with advanced algorithms and edge AI, integrate other farm technologies like aeration and pumping stations, and improve shrimp health through innovative nutritional solutions and environmental monitoring tools. The programme will continue to provide technical support to farmers, helping them adopt new technologies and improve their production processes.
